All of that happened on lvs-devel and the Linux netdev list. Right, we
could have mentioned it here sometime too ;)

I did the kernel patches, Vince Busam converted ipvsadm to work with
them. We pretty much got the basic set of functionality working. I put
up a small description of the current state here:

http://www.mindbasket.com/ipvs/

I wouldn't take the kernel patches from that link though, the version
in David Millers net-next-2.6 tree is more recent:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git

I'd be glad to assist with anything if you want to do some testing :)
